When R is OH such reactions are usually carried out in the presence of a coupling reagent, such as N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (‘DCC’), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl-amino-propyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (‘EDC’) or bis(2-oxo-3-oxazolidinyl)phosphonic chloride (‘BOP-Cl’), in the presence of a base, and optionally in the presence of a nucleophilic catalyst, such as hydroxybenzotriazole (“HOBT”). When R is Cl, such reactions are usually carried out in the presence of a base, and optionally in the presence of a nucleophilic catalyst. Alternatively, it is possible to conduct the reaction in a biphasic system comprising an organic solvent, preferably ethyl acetate, and an aqueous solvent, preferably a solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate. When R is C₁-C₆alkoxy it is sometimes possible to convert the ester directly to the amide by heating the ester and amine together in a thermal process. Suitable bases include pyridine, triethylamine, 4-(dimethylamino)-pyridine (‘DMAP’) or diisopropylethylamine (Hunig's base). Preferred solvents are N,N-dimethylacetamide, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, ethyl acetate and toluene.

The reaction is carried out at a temperature of from 50° C. to 200° C., preferably from 100° C. to 150° C. The reaction is carried out at a pressure of from 50 to 200 bar, preferably from 100 to 150 bar.

The compounds of the invention may also have activity against the molluscs. Examples of which include, for example, Ampullariidae; Arion (A. ater, A. circumscriptus, A. hortensis, A. rufus); Bradybaenidae (Bradybaena fruticum); Cepaea (C. hortensis, C. Nemoralis); ochlodina; Deroceras (D. agrestis, D. empiricorum, D. laeve, D. reticulatum); Discus (D. rotundatus); Euomphalia; Galba (G. trunculata); Helicelia (H. itala, H. obvia); Helicidae Helicigona arbustorum); Helicodiscus; Helix (H. aperta); Limax (L. cinereoniger, L. flavus, L. marginatus, L. maximus, L. tenellus); Lymnaea; Milax (M. gagates, M. marginatus, M. sowerbyi); Opeas; Pomacea (P. canaticulata); Vallonia and Zanitoides.

Crops are to be understood as also including those crops which have been rendered tolerant to herbicides like bromoxynil or classes of herbicides such as ALS-, EPSPS-, GS-, HPPD- and PPO-inhibitors. An example of a crop that has been rendered tolerant to imidazolinones, e.g. imazamox, by conventional methods of breeding is Clearfield® summer canola. Examples of crops that have been rendered tolerant to herbicides by genetic engineering methods include e.g. glyphosate- and glufosinate-resistant maize varieties commercially available under the trade names RoundupReady®, Herculex I® and LibertyLink®.

Crops are also to be understood as being those which naturally are or have been rendered resistant to harmful insects. This includes plants transformed by the use of recombinant DNA techniques, for example, to be capable of synthesising one or more selectively acting toxins, such as are known, for example, from toxin-producing bacteria. Examples of toxins which can be expressed include δ-endotoxins, vegetative insecticidal proteins (Vip), insecticidal proteins of bacteria colonising nematodes, and toxins produced by scorpions, arachnids, wasps and fungi.

An example of a crop that has been modified to express the Bacillus thuringiensis toxin is the Bt maize KnockOut® (Syngenta Seeds). An example of a crop comprising more than one gene that codes for insecticidal resistance and thus expresses more than one toxin is VipCot® (Syngenta Seeds). Crops or seed material thereof can also be resistant to multiple types of pests (so-called stacked transgenic events when created by genetic modification). For example, a plant can have the ability to express an insecticidal protein while at the same time being herbicide tolerant, for example Herculex I® (Dow AgroSciences, Pioneer Hi-Bred International).

Further areas of use of the compositions according to the invention are the protection of stored goods and store rooms and the protection of raw materials, such as wood, textiles, floor coverings or buildings, and also in the hygiene sector, especially the protection of humans, domestic animals and productive livestock against pests of the mentioned type.

The present invention also provides a method for controlling pests (such as mosquitoes and other disease vectors; see also http://www.who.int/malaria/vector_control/irs/en/). In one embodiment, the method for controlling pests comprises applying the compositions of the invention to the target pests, to their locus or to a surface or substrate by brushing, rolling, spraying, spreading or dipping. By way of example, an IRS (indoor residual spraying) application of a surface such as a wall, ceiling or floor surface is contemplated by the method of the invention. In another embodiment, it is contemplated to apply such compositions to a substrate such as non-woven or a fabric material in the form of (or which can be used in the manufacture of) netting, clothing, bedding, curtains and tents.

In one embodiment, the method for controlling such pests comprises applying a pesticidally effective amount of the compositions of the invention to the target pests, to their locus, or to a surface or substrate so as to provide effective residual pesticidal activity on the surface or substrate. Such application may be made by brushing, rolling, spraying, spreading or dipping the pesticidal composition of the invention. By way of example, an IRS application of a surface such as a wall, ceiling or floor surface is contemplated by the method of the invention so as to provide effective residual pesticidal activity on the surface. In another embodiment, it is contemplated to apply such compositions for residual control of pests on a substrate such as a fabric material in the form of (or which can be used in the manufacture of) netting, clothing, bedding, curtains and tents.

Substrates including non-woven, fabrics or netting to be treated may be made of natural fibres such as cotton, raffia, jute, flax, sisal, hessian, or wool, or synthetic fibres such as polyamide, polyester, polypropylene, polyacrylonitrile or the like. The polyesters are particularly suitable. The methods of textile treatment are known, e.g. WO2008151984, WO2003034823, U.S. Pat. No. 5,631,072, WO2005064072, WO2006128870, EP1724392, WO2005113886 or WO2007090739.

The compositions according to the invention are also suitable for protecting against insect infestation in the case of materials such as wood, textiles, plastics, adhesives, glues, paints, paper and card, leather, floor coverings and buildings.

The compositions according to the invention can be used, for example, against the following pests: beetles such as Hylotrupes bajulus, Chlorophorus pilosis, Anobium punctatum, Xestobium rufovillosum, Ptilinuspecticornis, Dendrobium pertinex, Emobius mollis, Priobium carpini, Lyctus brunneus, Lyctus africanus, Lyctus planicollis, Lyctus linearis, Lyctus pubescens, Trogoxylon aequale, Minthesrugicollis, Xyleborus spec., Tryptodendron spec., Apate monachus, Bostrychus capucins, Heterobostrychus brunneus, Sinoxylon spec. and Dinoderus minutus, and also hymenopterans such as Sirex juvencus, Urocerus gigas, Urocerus gigas taignus and Urocerus augur, and termites such as Kalotermes flavicollis, Cryptotermes brevis, Heterotermes indicola, Reticulitermes flavipes, Reticulitermes santonensis, Reticulitermes lucifugus, Mastotermes darwiniensis, Zootermopsis nevadensis and Coptotermes formosanus, and bristletails such as Lepisma saccharina.

The compounds according to the invention can be used as pesticidal agents in unmodified form, but they are generally formulated into compositions in various ways using formulation adjuvants, such as carriers, solvents and surface-active substances. The formulations can be in various physical forms, e.g. in the form of dusting powders, gels, wettable powders, water-dispersible granules, water-dispersible tablets, effervescent pellets, emulsifiable concentrates, microemulsifiable concentrates, oil-in-water emulsions, oil-flowables, aqueous dispersions, oily dispersions, suspo-emulsions, capsule suspensions, emulsifiable granules, soluble liquids, water-soluble concentrates (with water or a water-miscible organic solvent as carrier), impregnated polymer films or in other forms known e.g. from the Manual on Development and Use of FAO and WHO Specifications for Pesticides, United Nations, First Edition, Second Revision (2010). Such formulations can either be used directly or diluted prior to use. The dilutions can be made, for example, with water, liquid fertilisers, micronutrients, biological organisms, oil or solvents.

The formulations can be prepared e.g. by mixing the active ingredient with the formulation adjuvants in order to obtain compositions in the form of finely divided solids, granules, solutions, dispersions or emulsions. The active ingredients can also be formulated with other adjuvants, such as finely divided solids, mineral oils, oils of vegetable or animal origin, modified oils of vegetable or animal origin, organic solvents, water, surface-active substances or combinations thereof.

The active ingredients can also be contained in very fine microcapsules. Microcapsules contain the active ingredients in a porous carrier. This enables the active ingredients to be released into the environment in controlled amounts (e.g. slow-release). Microcapsules usually have a diameter of from 0.1 to 500 microns. They contain active ingredients in an amount of about from 25 to 95% by weight of the capsule weight. The active ingredients can be in the form of a monolithic solid, in the form of fine particles in solid or liquid dispersion or in the form of a suitable solution. The encapsulating membranes can comprise, for example, natural or synthetic rubbers, cellulose, styrene/butadiene copolymers, polyacrylonitrile, polyacrylate, polyesters, polyamides, polyureas, polyurethane or chemically modified polymers and starch xanthates or other polymers that are known to the person skilled in the art. Alternatively, very fine microcapsules can be formed in which the active ingredient is contained in the form of finely divided particles in a solid matrix of base substance, but the microcapsules are not themselves encapsulated.

The formulation adjuvants that are suitable for the preparation of the compositions according to the invention are known per se. As liquid carriers there may be used: water, toluene, xylene, petroleum ether, vegetable oils, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, acid anhydrides, acetonitrile, acetophenone, amyl acetate, 2-butanone, butylene carbonate, chlorobenzene, cyclohexane, cyclohexanol, alkyl esters of acetic acid, diacetone alcohol, 1,2-dichloropropane, diethanolamine, p-diethylbenzene, diethylene glycol, diethylene glycol abietate, diethylene glycol butyl ether, diethylene glycol ethyl ether, diethylene glycol methyl ether, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, 1,4-dioxane, dipropylene glycol, dipropylene glycol methyl ether, dipropylene glycol dibenzoate, diproxitol, alkylpyrrolidone, ethyl acetate, 2-ethyl-hexanol, ethylene carbonate, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 2-heptanone, alpha-pinene, d-limonene, ethyl lactate, ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol butyl ether, ethylene glycol methyl ether, gamma-butyrolactone, glycerol, glycerol acetate, glycerol diacetate, glycerol triacetate, hexadecane, hexylene glycol, isoamyl acetate, isobornyl acetate, isooctane, isophorone, isopropylbenzene, isopropyl myristate, lactic acid, laurylamine, mesityl oxide, methoxypropanol, methyl isoamyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl laurate, methyl octanoate, methyl oleate, methylene chloride, m-xylene, n-hexane, n-octylamine, octadecanoic acid, octylamine acetate, oleic acid, oleylamine, o-xylene, phenol, polyethylene glycol, propionic acid, propyl lactate, propylene carbonate, propylene glycol, propylene glycol methyl ether, p-xylene, toluene, triethyl phosphate, triethylene glycol, xylenesulfonic acid, paraffin, mineral oil, trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, ethyl acetate, amyl acetate, butyl acetate, propylene glycol methyl ether, diethylene glycol methyl ether, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and alcohols of higher molecular weight, such as amyl alcohol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, hexanol, octanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and the like.

Suitable solid carriers are, for example, talc, titanium dioxide, pyrophyllite clay, silica, attapulgite clay, kieselguhr, limestone, calcium carbonate, bentonite, calcium montmorillonite, cottonseed husks, wheat flour, soybean flour, pumice, wood flour, ground walnut shells, lignin and similar substances.

A large number of surface-active substances can advantageously be used in both solid and liquid formulations, especially in those formulations which can be diluted with a carrier prior to use. Surface-active substances may be anionic, cationic, non-ionic or polymeric and they can be used as emulsifiers, wetting agents or suspending agents or for other purposes. Typical surface-active substances include, for example, salts of alkyl sulfates, such as diethanolammonium lauryl sulfate; salts of alkylarylsulfonates, such as calcium dodecylbenzenesulfonate; alkylphenol/alkylene oxide addition products, such as nonylphenol ethoxylate; alcohol/alkylene oxide addition products, such as tridecylalcohol ethoxylate; soaps, such as sodium stearate; salts of alkylnaphthalenesulfonates, such as sodium dibutylnaphthalenesulfonate; dialkyl esters of sulfosuccinate salts, such as sodium di(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate; sorbitol esters, such as sorbitol oleate; quaternary amines, such as lauryltrimethylammonium chloride, polyethylene glycol esters of fatty acids, such as polyethylene glycol stearate; block copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide; and salts of mono- and di-alkylphosphate esters; and also further substances described e.g. in McCutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual, MC Publishing Corp., Ridgewood N.J. (1981).

Further adjuvants that can be used in pesticidal formulations include crystallisation inhibitors, viscosity modifiers, suspending agents, dyes, anti-oxidants, foaming agents, light absorbers, mixing auxiliaries, antifoams, complexing agents, neutralising or pH-modifying substances and buffers, corrosion inhibitors, fragrances, wetting agents, take-up enhancers, micronutrients, plasticisers, glidants, lubricants, dispersants, thickeners, antifreezes, microbicides, and liquid and solid fertilisers.

The compositions according to the invention can include an additive comprising an oil of vegetable or animal origin, a mineral oil, alkyl esters of such oils or mixtures of such oils and oil derivatives. The amount of oil additive in the composition according to the invention is generally from 0.01 to 10%, based on the mixture to be applied. For example, the oil additive can be added to a spray tank in the desired concentration after a spray mixture has been prepared. Preferred oil additives comprise mineral oils or an oil of vegetable origin, for example rapeseed oil, olive oil or sunflower oil, emulsified vegetable oil, alkyl esters of oils of vegetable origin, for example the methyl derivatives, or an oil of animal origin, such as fish oil or beef tallow. Preferred oil additives comprise alkyl esters of C₈-C₂₂ fatty acids, especially the methyl derivatives of C₁₂-C₁₈ fatty acids, for example the methyl esters of lauric acid, palmitic acid and oleic acid (methyl laurate, methyl palmitate and methyl oleate, respectively). Many oil derivatives are known from the Compendium of Herbicide Adjuvants, 10^(th) Edition, Southern Illinois University, 2010.

The inventive compositions generally comprise from 0.1 to 99% by weight, especially from 0.1 to 95% by weight, of compounds of the present invention and from 1 to 99.9% by weight of a formulation adjuvant which preferably includes from 0 to 25% by weight of a surface-active substance. Whereas commercial products may preferably be formulated as concentrates, the end user will normally employ dilute formulations.

The rates of application vary within wide limits and depend on the nature of the soil, the method of application, the crop plant, the pest to be controlled, the prevailing climatic conditions, and other factors governed by the method of application, the time of application and the target crop. As a general guideline compounds may be applied at a rate of from 1 to 2000 l/ha, especially from 10 to 1000 l/ha. Preferred formulations can have the following compositions (weight %):

Slow Release Capsule Suspension

28 parts of the combination are mixed with 2 parts of an aromatic solvent and 7 parts of toluene diisocyanate/polymethylene-polyphenylisocyanate-mixture (8:1). This mixture is emulsified in a mixture of 1.2 parts of polyvinylalcohol, 0.05 parts of a defoamer and 51.6 parts of water until the desired particle size is achieved. To this emulsion a mixture of 2.8 parts 1,6-diaminohexane in 5.3 parts of water is added. The mixture is agitated until the polymerization reaction is completed. The obtained capsule suspension is stabilized by adding 0.25 parts of a thickener and 3 parts of a dispersing agent. The capsule suspension formulation contains 28% of the active ingredients. The medium capsule diameter is 8-15 microns. The resulting formulation is applied to seeds as an aqueous suspension in an apparatus suitable for that purpose.

Formulation types include an emulsion concentrate (EC), a suspension concentrate (SC), a suspo-emulsion (SE), a capsule suspension (CS), a water dispersible granule (WG), an emulsifiable granule (EG), an emulsion, water in oil (EO), an emulsion, oil in water (EW), a micro-emulsion (ME), an oil dispersion (OD), an oil miscible flowable (OF), an oil miscible liquid (OL), a soluble concentrate (SL), an ultra-low volume suspension (SU), an ultra-low volume liquid (UL), a technical concentrate (TK), a dispersible concentrate (DC), a wettable powder (WP), a soluble granule (SG) or any technically feasible formulation in combination with agriculturally acceptable adjuvants.

The activity of the compositions according to the invention can be broadened considerably, and adapted to prevailing circumstances, by adding other insecticidally, acaricidally and/or fungicidally active ingredients. The mixtures of the compounds of formula (I) with other insecticidally, acaricidally and/or fungicidally active ingredients may also have further surprising advantages which can also be described, in a wider sense, as synergistic activity. For example, better tolerance by plants, reduced phytotoxicity, insects can be controlled in their different development stages or better behaviour during their production, for example during grinding or mixing, during their storage or during their use.

Suitable additions to active ingredients here are, for example, representatives of the following classes of active ingredients: organophosphorus compounds, nitrophenol derivatives, thioureas, juvenile hormones, formamidines, benzophenone derivatives, ureas, pyrrole derivatives, carbamates, pyrethroids, chlorinated hydrocarbons, acylureas, pyridylmethyleneamino derivatives, macrolides, neonicotinoids and Bacillus thuringiensis preparations.

The following mixtures of the compounds of formula (I) with active ingredients are preferred (the abbreviation “TX” means “one compound selected from the group consisting of the compounds described in Tables 1 to 96 and Table P of the present invention”):

The active ingredient mixture of the compounds of formula (I) selected from Tables 1 to 96 and Table A of the present invention with active ingredients described above comprises a compound selected from Tables 1 to 96 and Table A and an active ingredient as described above preferably in a mixing ratio of from 100:1 to 1:6000, especially from 50:1 to 1:50, more especially in a ratio of from 20:1 to 1:20, even more especially from 10:1 to 1:10, very especially from 5:1 and 1:5, special preference being given to a ratio of from 2:1 to 1:2, and a ratio of from 4:1 to 2:1 being likewise preferred, above all in a ratio of 1:1, or 5:1, or 5:2, or 5:3, or 5:4, or 4:1, or 4:2, or 4:3, or 3:1, or 3:2, or 2:1, or 1:5, or 2:5, or 3:5, or 4:5, or 1:4, or 2:4, or 3:4, or 1:3, or 2:3, or 1:2, or 1:600, or 1:300, or 1:150, or 1:35, or 2:35, or 4:35, or 1:75, or 2:75, or 4:75, or 1:6000, or 1:3000, or 1:1500, or 1:350, or 2:350, or 4:350, or 1:750, or 2:750, or 4:750. Those mixing ratios are by weight.

The mixtures as described above can be used in a method for controlling pests, which comprises applying a composition comprising a mixture as described above to the pests or their environment, with the exception of a method for treatment of the human or animal body by surgery or therapy and diagnostic methods practised on the human or animal body.

The mixtures comprising a compound of formula (I) selected from Tables 1 to 96 and Table P and one or more active ingredients as described above can be applied, for example, in a single “ready-mix” form, in a combined spray mixture composed from separate formulations of the single active ingredient components, such as a “tank-mix”, and in a combined use of the single active ingredients when applied in a sequential manner, i.e. one after the other with a reasonably short period, such as a few hours or days. The order of applying the compounds of formula (I) selected from Tables 1 to 96 and Table P and the active ingredients as described above is not essential for working the present invention.

The compositions according to the invention can also comprise further solid or liquid auxiliaries, such as stabilizers, for example unepoxidized or epoxidized vegetable oils (for example epoxidized coconut oil, rapeseed oil or soya oil), antifoams, for example silicone oil, preservatives, viscosity regulators, binders and/or tackifiers, fertilizers or other active ingredients for achieving specific effects, for example bactericides, fungicides, nematocides, plant activators, molluscicides or herbicides.

The compositions according to the invention are prepared in a manner known per se, in the absence of auxiliaries for example by grinding, screening and/or compressing a solid active ingredient and in the presence of at least one auxiliary for example by intimately mixing and/or grinding the active ingredient with the auxiliary (auxiliaries). These processes for the preparation of the compositions and the use of the compounds I for the preparation of these compositions are also a subject of the invention.

The application methods for the compositions, that is the methods of controlling pests of the abovementioned type, such as spraying, atomizing, dusting, brushing on, dressing, scattering or pouring—which are to be selected to suit the intended aims of the prevailing circumstances—and the use of the compositions for controlling pests of the abovementioned type are other subjects of the invention. Typical rates of concentration are between 0.1 and 1000 ppm, preferably between 0.1 and 500 ppm, of active ingredient. The rate of application per hectare is generally 1 to 2000 g of active ingredient per hectare, in particular 10 to 1000 g/ha, preferably 10 to 600 g/ha.

A preferred method of application in the field of crop protection is application to the foliage of the plants (foliar application), it being possible to select frequency and rate of application to match the danger of infestation with the pest in question. Alternatively, the active ingredient can reach the plants via the root system (systemic action), by drenching the locus of the plants with a liquid composition or by incorporating the active ingredient in solid form into the locus of the plants, for example into the soil, for example in the form of granules (soil application). In the case of paddy rice crops, such granules can be metered into the flooded paddy-field.

The compounds of the invention and compositions thereof are also be suitable for the protection of plant propagation material, for example seeds, such as fruit, tubers or kernels, or nursery plants, against pests of the abovementioned type. The propagation material can be treated with the compound prior to planting, for example seed can be treated prior to sowing. Alternatively, the compound can be applied to seed kernels (coating), either by soaking the kernels in a liquid composition or by applying a layer of a solid composition. It is also possible to apply the compositions when the propagation material is planted to the site of application, for example into the seed furrow during drilling. These treatment methods for plant propagation material and the plant propagation material thus treated are further subjects of the invention. Typical treatment rates would depend on the plant and pest/fungi to be controlled and are generally between 1 to 200 grams per 100 kg of seeds, preferably between 5 to 150 grams per 100 kg of seeds, such as between 10 to 100 grams per 100 kg of seeds.

The term seed embraces seeds and plant propagules of all kinds including but not limited to true seeds, seed pieces, suckers, corns, bulbs, fruit, tubers, grains, rhizomes, cuttings, cut shoots and the like and means in a preferred embodiment true seeds.

The present invention also comprises seeds coated or treated with or containing a compound of formula (I). The term “coated or treated with and/or containing” generally signifies that the active ingredient is for the most part on the surface of the seed at the time of application, although a greater or lesser part of the ingredient may penetrate into the seed material, depending on the method of application. When the said seed product is (re)planted, it may absorb the active ingredient. In an embodiment, the present invention makes available a plant propagation material adhered thereto with a compound of formula (I). Further, it is hereby made available, a composition comprising a plant propagation material treated with a compound of formula (I).

Seed treatment comprises all suitable seed treatment techniques known in the art, such as seed dressing, seed coating, seed dusting, seed soaking and seed pelleting. The seed treatment application of the compound formula (I) can be carried out by any known methods, such as spraying or by dusting the seeds before sowing or during the sowing/planting of the seeds.

The invention further relates to a method for controlling pests, which comprises applying a composition according to the invention to the pests or their environment preferably with the exception of a method for treatment of the human or animal body by surgery or therapy and diagnostic methods practised on the human or animal body.

The invention further relates to a method for the protection of plant propagation material from the attack by pests, which comprises treating the propagation material or the site, where the propagation material is planted, with a composition comprising a compound according to this invention or with a compound according to this invention. The invention further relates to a plant propagation material treated with the pesticidal composition comprising a compound according to this invention or with a compound according to this invention.

The Examples which follow serve to illustrate the invention. The compounds of the invention can be distinguished from known compounds by virtue of greater efficacy at low application rates, which can be verified by the person skilled in the art using the experimental procedures outlined in the Examples, using lower application rates if necessary, for example 50 ppm, 12.5 ppm, 6 ppm, 3 ppm, 1.5 ppm or 0.8 ppm. Temperatures are given in degrees Celsius; mixing ratios of solvents are given in parts by volume.

Example 1: N-(2-cyclobutylsulfonylisoxazolidin-4-yl)-4-[5-(3,5-dichloro-fluoro-phenyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-isoxazol-3-yl]-2-methyl-benzamide (Example A014 in Table A) Step A tert-butyl 4-[[4-[5-(3,5-dichloro-fluoro-phenyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-isoxazol-3-yl]-2-methyl-benzoyl]amino]isoxazolidine-2-carboxylate

A solution of tert-butyl 4-aminoisoxazolidine-2-carboxylate (preparation described in WO 11/067272) (0.377 g) in tetrahydrofuran (5 ml) was treated with triethylamine (0.307 g) and stirred at 20° C. An amount of 4-[5-(3,5-dichlor-fluorphenyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-isoxazol-3-yl]-2-methyl-benzoyl chloride (0.911 g) (the preparation of 4-[5-(3,5-dichloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-isoxazol-3-yl]-2-methyl-benzoic acid is described in WO13/026695) dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (5 ml) was slowly added. The mixture was stirred for one hour then it was diluted with dichloromethane and aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate. The phases were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic phases were combined, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to yield a crude product as a yellow solid. Flash chromatography over silica gel with ethyl acetate-heptane mixture (1:1) gave the title compound as a slightly yellow solid. 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz, δ in ppm): 7.58 (d, 2H), 7.54-7.46 (m, 2H), 7.40 (d, 1H), 6.25 (d, 1H), 5.02 (m, 1H), 4.12-3.95 (m, 4H), 3.72-3.57 (m, 2H), 2.47 (s, 3H), 1.49 (s, 9H).

Step B: 4-[5-3,5-dichloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-isoxazol-3-yl]-N-isoxazolidin-2-ium-4-yl-2-methyl-benzamide; 2,2,2-trifluoroacetate

A solution of tert-butyl 4-[[4-[5-(3,5-dichloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-isoxazol-3-yl]-2-methyl-benzoyl]amino]isoxazolidine-2-carboxylate (1.00 g) in dichloromethane (8.5 ml) was treated with trifluoroacetic acid (0.945 g) and stirred at 20° C. for 16 hours.

In a sulfonation flask with mechanical stirrer, condenser, thermometer, under inert atmosphere, a suspension of N-hydroxyphthalimide (40.0 g) and (R)-(−)-epichlorhydrin (25.0 g) in anhydrous 1,4-dioxane (240 mL), was treated with triethylamine (3.42 mL). The suspension turned immediately orange. The resulting mixture was then heated to 55° C. and stirred at that temperature for 6 days. To the resulting dark red solution were added methanol (240 mL) and triethylamine (34.2 mL) and the stirring was continued for 3 hours at the same temperature.

The reaction mixture was then concentrated under vacuum to yield a dark red oil which was treated with a little dichloromethane and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The mixture was extracted twice with dichloromethane. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was submitted to silica gel chromatography, using methanol/dichloromethane 5:95 as eluent. The selected fractions were evaporated and the residue was triturated with ethyl acetate. A white suspension formed slowly. Methyl 2-[(4S)-4-hydroxyisoxazolidine-2-carbonyl]benzoate was isolated by filtration.

¹HNMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): 7.99 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 7.62 (t, J=8 Hz, 1H), 7.51-7.42 (m, 2H), 4.81-4.72 (m, 1H), 4.35-3.63 (m, 4H), 3.92 (s, 3H).

Step B: (4S)-isoxazolidin-2-ium-4-ol Chloride

Methyl 2-[(4S)-4-hydroxyisoxazolidine-2-carbonyl]benzoate (264 g) was placed in a flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, a condenser, a thermometer and an inert gas inlet and outlet through a bubbler. A 4 molar anhydrous solution of hydrochloric acid in dioxane (1.313 L) was added. The resulting solution was stirred at 80° C. for 20 hours. Care was taken to trap the hydrochloric gas leaving the apparatus.

The reaction mixture was then cooled to 0° C. and the solid that was formed was isolated by careful filtration. After rinsing with dry dioxane and drying, (4S)-isoxazolidin-2-ium-4-ol chloride was isolated as colorless powder. The compound was analyzed by NMR.

¹HNMR (DMSO-d6, 400 MHz): 13.1-12.1 (br s, 2H), 6.2-5.2 (br s, 1H), 4.85-477 (m, 1H), 4.08 (d, 1H), 4.04 (dd, 1H), 3.49 (dd, 1H), 3.33 (d, 1H).

A suspension of (4S)-isoxazolidin-2-ium-4-ol chloride (67.8 g) in dry tetrahydrofuran (300 mL) under inert atmosphere was stirred at 0° C. A solution of triethylamine (82 g) in tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) was added over a period of 10 minutes. A solution di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (141 g) in tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) was then added to the reaction mixture. After the removal of the ice bath, the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature until the starting material was reacted.

The progression of the reaction is monitored by TLC analysis of aliquots eluted on a silica gel plate with a mixture of ethyl acetate/heptane 1:1. The plate can be developed with iodine vapour or ninhydrine.

The reaction mixture was the filtered and the precipitate washed with tetrahydrofuran. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum and the residue was purified on a silica gel column using first a gradient heptane/ethyl acetate 3:1 to 1:3.

The tert-butyl (4S)-4-hydroxyisoxazolidine-2-carboxylate is isolated as a pale yellow oil, characterized by its NMR spectrum.

To a solution of tert-butyl (4S)-4-hydroxyisoxazolidine-2-carboxylate (5.00 g) in dichloromethane (30 mL) was added triethylamine (7.52 mL). The reaction flask was cooled in an ice bath and a solution of methanesulfonyl chloride (3.13 mL) in dichloromethane (10 mL) was slowly added in such a way to keep the temperature below 20° C. The resulting orange colored suspension was stirred for 16 hours at 20° C. and resulted in a brown suspension.

The reaction mixture was then washed with 1M aqueous hydrochloric acid (30 mL) and the aqueous phase was extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic extracts were washed with 1M aqueous sodium hydroxide (30 mL). The aqueous phase was extracted with dichloromethane and the combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuo to yield crude tert-butyl (4S)-4-methylsulfonyloxyisoxazolidine-2-carboxylate that was pure enough to be used in the following step.

¹HNMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): 5.53-5.47 (m, 1H), 4.20-4.15 (broad d, J=10 Hz, 1H), 4.11-4.05 (dd, J₁=10 Hz, J₂=5 Hz, 1H), 4.03-3.97 (broad d, J=14 Hz, 1H), 3.89-3.82 (dd, J₁=14 Hz, J₂=5 Hz, 1H), 3.07 (s, 3H), 1.50 (s, 9H).

Step E: tert-butyl (4R)-4-azidoisoxazolidine-2-carboxylate

Sodium azide (21.5 g) was suspended in 170 mL of dimethylformamide (dried over molecular sieves) in a 500 mL flask fitted with a mechanical stirrer, a thermometer, a condenser, an argon inlet and outlet with a bubbler and a dropping funnel. The reaction flask was placed in an oil bath and heated under stirring at 60° C. The reaction was performed under argon atmosphere and behind a safety shield. Special care was given to the absence of chlorinated solvent traces in the starting mesylate for safety reasons. A solution of tert-butyl (4S)-4-methylsulfonyloxyisoxazolidine-2-carboxylate (described above) (68 g) in dry dimethylformamide (170 mL) was added under stirring. No exotherm was observed. After the addition was complete, the reaction mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 22 hours. The progression of the reaction can be followed by TLC analysis (silica gel plate, eluent ethyl acetate-heptane 1:1, Rf starting material 0.3, Rf product 0.6).

The reaction mixture was then let cool down to room temperature and transferred in a mixture of water (1 L) and ethyl acetate. The resulting mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed three times with water, then with brine before being dried over sodium sulfate. After removal of the solvent under vacuum, the crude tert-butyl (4R)-4-azidoisoxazolidine-2-carboxylate was obtained as a light orange oil. It was used without purification for the following step.

A solution of tert-butyl (4R-4-azidoisoxazolidine-2-carboxylate (56 g) in tetrahydrufurane (1300 mL) was placed in an inertized autoclave equipped with a mechanical stirrer. Palladium on carbon (2.50 g, 5% catalyst loading) was introduced and the reactor was closed. After evacuation of the reactor's atmosphere hydrogen was introduced (this operation was repeated twice). The applied pressure didn't exceed 3 atm. The reaction was performed under strong agitation, at room temperature. The progression was checked by analysis of aliquots of the reaction mixture (after removal of hydrogen under vacuum and filling the reactor with argon). After 8 hours, another portion of catalyst (1.25 g) was introduced, following a safe protocol and the hydrogenation was continued for two more hours, after which the conversion was complete. After inertizing the reactor, the reaction mixture was filtered over a short path of celite and the filtrate was evaporated on the rotary evaporator at 60° C. The crude tert-butyl (4R)-4-aminoisoxazolidine-2-carboxylate was obtained as a pale brown oil.

¹HNMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): 4.00-3.89 (m, 2H), 3.87-3.80 (dd, 1H), 3.70-3.65 (dd, 1H), 3.38-3.33 (dd, 1H), 1.48 (s, 9H).
